1/11 Applesauce

Despite the bitter cold, classes were pretty good today.  I think everyone is excited to start the new year.  It's pretty amazing that these kids are showing up in this weather .... and usually in not that much clothing.  I've got at least four layers of clothing on and some of the students don't even wear shoes to school.   After all the kids went home and the dishes were done from lunch, I decided to distract myself by making applesauce.  Dani and Tak helped out.  We found some spices, put in some lime and ginger and let it simmer for a bit.  It was very difficult to wait till dinner.  But as soon as were done with our meals, we grabbed for the still slightly warm apples - they were delicious and especially comforting in 5c.
